Article name edit
This accident happened between United Express (Great Lakes Airlines) Flight 5925 and Beechcraft King Air. So I think this article should be renamed.--122.251.49.173 (talk) 06:29, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
Diagram error edit
This diagram of the accident has an error. It lists the Cherokee as N7546J. It was actually N7646J. How can we fix this? LearyTheSquid (talk) 15:45, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

United Express Flight 5925 → Quincy runway disaster – As the article mentions, this accident is referred to by this term. Tigerdude9 (talk) 22:08, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose: Most other articles on collisions that involve a single commercial flight are already named after that flight (PSA Flight 182, Gol Transportes Aéreos Flight 1907, Aeroméxico Flight 498, and specifically runway collisions, TWA Flight 427 and Court Line Flight 95). The only exception is Linate Airport disaster, and while I would personally prefer as much consistency as possible, it does has the defense of WP:COMMONNAME. This article's claim that the accident "was known as" the Quincy runway disaster is unsourced and vague; it could easily be said to be "known as" something like the "Quincy runway collision" or just the "Quincy plane crash".

- But what about the Los Angeles runway disaster? Isn't that also vague? Tigerdude9 (talk) 15:56, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- That accident involved two commercial flights. ThatFlyingSquid (talk) 00:08, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
